CRB - Which Size Is Right? - TheCleaningDude - 06-25-2013
I'm going to get a BrushEncap. Very excited in fact.
However, I need to figure out what size would be best for me. I like the idea of covering lots of ground with the 20", but I also think that the 15" might serve a better role in residential settings.
One thing I like about the BrushEncap as opposed to a couple of others out there is that the machine has no hips and doesn't protrude. A couple of the other machines have fenders so big they remind me of my dad's old Cadillac.
I'm hoping this will allow me to use the bigger machine in various applications.
For the record, I do a mix of commercial and residential work.

20 inch seems a bit wide for typical residential to me, but hard to say without trying it out. Maybe try it out and take advantage of Ricks return/exchange policy if its not a good fit for both.

The 15" would probably serve you best if you feel you'd like to use it for residential too. The 20" is great for hard core commercial. But if you're doing a mix of commercial and residential, just go with the 15" model.

Having used both in the residential setting,
Get the 15"
RE: CRB - Which Size Is Right? - Rob D - 06-25-2013
15" for residential.. Especially if just doing bedroom walk ways

I've got the 15". I still haven't been in a situation where I was really wishing I had the 20".
RE: CRB - Which Size Is Right? - Derek - 06-26-2013
what if most of your resi work is empty homes / apartments? then is the 20" better?
congrats Damon! that is exciting

Derek you're such a trouble maker.
The 15" will be perfect.

Derek and I have talked on the phone many times.
He knows I do lots of empties. Still, the 15" might be perfect for what I do/need.
Thanks for all the feedback guys!

Yes the 15 is perfect! JMO
